You’re welcome and no problem, I went looking for it because I wanted those tips too ha.

The original thread with advice given to OP, in case anyone else is also looking for similar suggestions.

Believe it or not some people are quiet, reserved introverts.

YSK Tracy Twyman was a hoax believing fool and a fruitcake. She is full of shit because in her last video she claims friends she had for years, people she even talked to on the phone… were actually AI bots. That she is being attacked by a demon that has taken control of an AI.

Like seriously, her story is sad, but there isn’t a single word out of this woman’s mouth that wasn’t tainted made less valuable by her fringe beliefs.

Go listen to some more Art Bell, friend.

Well and despite how quickly it has grown, Asahi is still a work in progress and has not been updated for M3/M4 processors yet, even when the M5 has just released. I honestly feel like old Intel macs are a waaaay better bang for your buck if you want a stable server box, all of them handle Linux pretty flawlessly, in my albeit limited experience.

…and they had only embraced PowerPC maybe 12 years earlier in the early 90s, if I recall correctly.

Hell, Linux runs great on my nearly 20 year old 2007 iMac. Gonna miss the Intel Mac era.

Don’t end up like Butters while you’re having fun with weapons.

This is the NYPost, it’s like reading FOX News. It’s click and rage-bait all the way down with them. I even have them blocked in my firewall, so I couldn’t actually read the story, but my guess would be you’re not far off the mark of them reporting on something totally normal and trying to make it sound like “some weird thing people do” instead of “this totally common and normal thing people do.”

Probably seems old hat, and seems unaffordable but perhaps take in a play, or a musical, or if you’re lucky enough to be close to one still operating, take in a drive-in movie.

I always found that finding a reason to dress up at least a little and go do something fun together as a shared activity helped alleviate the boredom of the norm.

Internet tough guy over here. You go first.

If the choice is living on the street with your kids or living with your economically abusive boyfriend, most mothers will choose the safety of a roof over their children’s heads.

And to be clear, it’s not a gender thing or a heterosexual thing specifically, my example is just the most common one that I’ve seen personally in my life. At every shitty, cheap apartments I’ve ever lived in, there was always at least one couple matching this description, where a mother and her children were chained economically to some man not because she really loved him but because she needed his part of the income to take care of her children properly. Hell, it’s also the type of home I grew up in. However, I am sure there are plenty of men and LGBTQ+ people who end up being abused economically as well.

Economic abuse is why affordable housing is a human rights issue.

Fuck it I honestly hope they do at this point. I’d love to see the USA corporate class knocked down a peg and brought down into the world they make everyone else live in and have to fight for scraps like we do. I’d like to see them lose all hope and chuck themselves out of windows like in the 1930s. The financialization of our economy has never left the citizenry more poor, and more than ever we have new and insidious technologies spying, listening, nudging, trying to create perfect complaint cow-like citizens. They all deserve to come down, the American business landscape is absolutely fucked and an absolute nightmare.

Sorry for the jaded cynicism about the whole thing. I’m probably just in a sour mood because I know the poor will get more untold suffering than the wealthy if it happens. There will be people starving in the streets while supermarkets put armed guards around food they throw away.

The TV show on HBO wasn’t, which may be what they’re referring to here.

Well, looks like we got ourselves a reader!

Someone who sucks because the second half doesn’t even fucking rhyme. Like that’s the best you could do?? You’d be second in a poetry competition/rap battle as well.

Security through obscurity isn’t security.

There goes my excuse for not giving up and just paying for Unraid.

The last time I even remember private trackers being taken down was in the days of Oink.UK and What.CD.

Oink was shut down in 2007 and What was shut down in 2016, both mostly because they had grown so big they were hard to ignore. A lot of modern sites keep an upper limit on the accounts they allow to prevent too much growth and attracting attention.

Hell, I remember baconBits having an upper limit of less than 10,000 accounts. Once that limit was reached, you couldn’t even send out invites.

Also, public trackers that were huge like RARBG survived until finances shut them down, via COVID and the war in Ukraine, they were never taken down forcibly, and they were massive and widely used.

Just fuckin with ya. Those are all valid gripes. I guess I got in on the scene way early through invites from friends and so I’ve hardly ever had to go through any interview process. I think the only place I “interviewed” was baconbits and it wasn’t really an interview since I mostly just shared evidence of good ratio on other trackers with long-lived accounts. I’ve had an account in good standing on Cinemageddon for… 18 years as of next month. Getting over that initial hump made it pretty easy to get in with good standing, and most decent trackers aren’t that hard to get good ratio on.
